You should read the HACKING file in the cvs gimp source directory. It should explain them: "If you want to hack on the GIMP project, it will make you life easier to have the following packages installed: - GNU autoconf 2.13 - GNU automake 1.4 - GNU libtool 1.2d - GNU gettext 10.35 Available in ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu" Those should be available as RPM's too.. Also if you have those installed, it may be the case that autoconf cant find all the macro files (no, I dont really understand this but quartic gave me a hint ;) so you might want to do a following script to help the compilation of the cvs gimp: Call this "autogenera" or something and put somewhere in your path: --- begin --- #!/bin/sh ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I /usr/local/share/aclocal' CFLAGS='-Wall -g' \ ./autogen.sh$* --- end --- Then there is the another question: Did it compile? If it did, and even runs, dont worry. It does give warnings on compilation :) Tig
